What Joy, keyboard, mouse do you use?

Re: What Joy, keyboard, mouse do you use?

Side question:

Does anyone know how to check out the maximum simultanious commands that a keyboard can send? I've been thinking about digging into this since I've noticed that when I'm flying I occasionally get a keyboard beep error when I've got 4 or more keys down. Big pain when you need to drop flares, but are turning, banking, and pulling up at the same time.

I think the standard is 2 to 4 keys but don't quote me on that. Gaming keyboards might be higher; I know the zboard can handle 7 simultaneous key strokes.

While nosing around at the local shops, I couldn't find a discriptor of how many keys the keyboards would recognize at the same time. Prolly the only thing I care about.

i just tested on my MS multimedia keyboard. it's 7, when i pressed 8 keys at the same time, it gave me a beep.

I started using the G5 laser mouse. It helps cause I play sniper alot, and can keep it on the middle setting for most of the game play, and when I zoom, I just hit the button and bring it down to minimum, so I can track a lot more accurate.

I also have the LX700 mouse/keyboard wireless combo. I dont really use the mouse too much, because the wired is more reliable, responsive, and you dont have to worry about battery life.

I was thinking about getting a different keyboard, or a mouse with more buttons, but cant really find a way to reason out the cost, and the keyboard is a keyboard I think.

Microsoft optical mouse that is blue and sliver from walmart for $30 but is now $20.

A intelipro microsoft wired keyboard from back in 2000 but I like the special shape and media buttons.

And a joystick I got in 2002 from toysRus for who knows how much.

Does anyone have the Eclipse?? If so is it any good?

I recently upgraded my 4 year old Dell QuietKey for an Eclipse. It's like typing on silk. Or the keyboard equivalent of silk. or butter. but less messy. Anyway I like it, and now using my old quietkey feels like typing with gloves on.

* Saitek backlit gaming keyboard (not eclipse - suckamus maximus buttomus - backlit around keys - not letters - keys are small, too small - and with the lites on it looks cool, but blinds you from seeing what the silver writing is on the black keys - pis-poor design IMHO)
* MX-518 mouse (AWESOME)
* Saitek X-52 Joysticks (AWESOME)

Anyone using one of these?

**EDIT:
Well after reading a bunch of reviews and getting pizzed off at my saitek keyboard lately, I went ahead and ordered one of the Wolf Claw II's and am having it shipped overnight...heh.

I can put up a review in a day or two and let you know how it is.

I use a trackball (Microsoft and Kensington)...once you get used to it, it is far superior to a standard mouse.
